Our Leisureville crew pulls the idle tub, keeps the alcove, and hands back a shower anywhere in Broward County within days.
Written quote at no cost, one callback, no chasing afterwards.
You probably stare at that clunky, high-walled basin every single morning and wonder why you keep it around. Getting rid of that outdated tub in favor of a sleek walk-in space is the smartest move you can make for your home in this quiet corner of Broward County.
Getting a free estimate for this change is the first step toward reclaiming your morning routine. You deserve a space that feels like a slice of pure ease and total relaxation.
Most folks living in this little slice of paradise, with a population hovering around 1,147, know that space is a premium. Those bulky porcelain rectangles take up way too much room and rarely get used for actual soaking. By swapping that relic for a streamlined basin-free area, you create the illusion of a much larger room. This visual trickery adds a sense of openness that makes your daily wash feel like a total joy.
Furthermore, you eliminate the dangerous task of hoisting your legs over a slippery rim every time you want to get clean. This change offers you a massive boost in safety that pays off every single day. Even if you feel agile today, thinking ahead is just good common sense. You save yourself the headache of future accidents while giving your home a much-needed facelift that looks sharp.
Digging into the plumbing behind the walls might sound like a nightmare, but it is just another Tuesday for someone who knows the ropes. You start by removing the heavy, old-fashioned basin which reveals the true layout of your floor. This allows for a fresh start where you can properly waterproof the entire area to prevent any leaks down the line. You want that peace of mind knowing the job is done right from the very bottom up.
Since you are in Florida, you understand how important it is to keep things dry and mold-free. A well-installed floor with the right slope ensures all water drains away quickly and efficiently. You avoid those annoying puddles that gather in the corners of older bathrooms. Plus, you get to pick from beautiful tiles that bring a touch of luxury to your morning scrub.
Investing in your property is always a wise play, especially when you live in a place where residents value both utility and style. Prospective buyers often look for modern, accessible features that show the house has been well cared for. By getting rid of that ancient tub, you signal that your home is ready for the modern era. You might find that this change makes your property stand out when the time comes to list it.
Beyond the dollar signs, you really should consider your own daily satisfaction. Nobody wakes up hoping to scrub a stained fiberglass wall from the inside of a cramped tub. Instead, you could step into a spacious, open area with a rain shower head that makes you feel like you are at a high-end resort. This shift in your environment changes your mood for the entire day.
You might worry about how long your bathroom will be out of commission during this transition. Fortunately, a focused team can handle the bulk of the work with surprising speed and precision. You start with the demo, then move to the plumbing adjustments, and finish with the waterproofing and tiling. Every stage is designed to make sure your new space remains functional and beautiful for many years.
| Phase | Benefit to You |
| Demolition | Clears the path for a modern, open layout. |
| Plumbing | Ensures smooth water flow and reliable drainage. |
| Waterproofing | Keeps your home safe from moisture damage. |
| Finishing | Adds the aesthetic charm you desire for your space. |
Each of these steps works together to turn your vision into a reality without the typical stress of renovation. You see the progress happen right before your eyes. It is truly satisfying to watch a dusty construction site transform into a bright and inviting room.
Your home is unique, and your bathroom layout likely has its own quirks that require a personal touch. You should never settle for a cookie-cutter approach when you can have a custom solution that fits your exact floor plan. Whether you need grab bars for added stability or a built-in bench for your sitting routine, you have endless options. This personalization gives you a sense of satisfaction that mass-market solutions simply cannot match.
On top of that, you get to choose finishes that match your personal style perfectly. Maybe you prefer classic white subway tiles for a clean look, or perhaps you want something bold like natural stone textures. This flexibility lets you craft a environment that feels like a true reflection of your personality. You end up with a result that brings a smile to your face every single time you walk through the door.
Living in a region with such specific weather patterns, you know that keeping your home in good repair is a constant task. Your new shower space will include advanced drainage systems that handle heavy water use without a hitch. This reliability means you can enjoy your morning rinse without worrying about the integrity of your floors or walls. You get to focus on relaxing while the materials do all the heavy lifting.
Moreover, the materials chosen for your project are built to last through decades of daily use. You avoid the chipping paint and cracked caulking that usually plague older tubs. By selecting high-quality materials, you keep your maintenance to an absolute minimum. You spend your time doing what you love, rather than constantly repairing your home.

Count the baths your household actually ran last year. In most homes we visit, the honest number is somewhere between zero and three, and yet every single morning somebody swings a leg over fifteen inches of porcelain rim to stand up and shower inside a fixture built for lying down. The tub charges rent daily and works a few evenings a year.
Nothing dramatic follows from that. Nobody is in danger because a bathtub exists, and if long soaks are part of your week, keep the tub and enjoy it with our blessing. The case for the conversion is plainer: when the tub has become a shower tray with high sides, you are paying, in caution and in cleaning, for a feature you retired years ago.
The swap itself is smaller than most people picture. The supply lines, the drain and the alcove walls are already exactly where a shower wants them, which is why this is a job measured in days. We are not building a new bathroom; we are letting the one you have stop pretending it still gives baths.
The same alcove, photographed the way the week actually unfolds. Weather never delays this one; it all happens indoors.
Floors along the hallway get covered, the water goes off for a few hours, and the bathtub is cut free and carried out, tile flange and all. With the alcove stripped, the plumber moves the drain to where the new pan wants it and sets the new valve at shower height. By supper the room is bare, clean and ready.
The base arrives first: an acrylic pan set dead level on a mortar bed, or a sloped, waterproofed floor when the plan says curbless. Then the walls close in, either grout-free panels bonded in a single afternoon or backer board ready for tile. Everything from here on is watertight before it is pretty.
The glass panel or door is drilled, hung and plumbed straight, the trim goes on, and the silicone lines are drawn last. Silicone wants a day to cure, so the first shower usually happens the following morning, which is exactly how we schedule the walkthrough.
Both are real showers in the same alcove. The difference is the entry, and what has to happen under it.
| What you weigh | Low curb | Curbless |
|---|---|---|
| What stands at the entry | A tidy threshold about 3 to 4 inches tall | Nothing. The bathroom floor rolls straight into the shower |
| Cost, installed | The friendlier bracket, most jobs land here | Roughly a third to a half more, the floor is rebuilt |
| What the crew rebuilds | The alcove only; the bathroom floor stays shut | Part of the bathroom floor, sloped and waterproofed |
| Water containment | The curb and glass do the holding | The slope and a linear drain do the holding |
| Suits best | Straight swaps on a budget and upstairs bathrooms | Wheels, walkers, and anyone planning to stay put for decades |
Undecided is a fine answer on the form. The site visit settles it with a tape measure, not a sales pitch.
Removal
Cut free, hauled out and off to recycling, with floors and doorways shielded on the way. The loudest hour of the conversion, and it wraps before most jobs have begun.
Plumbing
Tub drains sit at one end; showers drain where the pan says. We move what needs moving and swap the old valve for a pressure-balanced one.
The base
A level acrylic pan for most swaps, a mortar-built sloped floor for curbless plans. Either way it is tested with water before anything covers it.
The walls
Grout-free panels go up in an afternoon and wipe clean forever. Tile takes longer, costs more, and looks like whatever you can imagine.
The glass
A fixed panel keeps things open and easy to clean; a hinged door closes the warmth in. Both are tempered, both are set dead straight.
The finish
Shelving, the hand shower, clean caulk lines and a walkthrough. We leave the cure time in writing so the first shower is not a gamble.
| The job | Usual range | Inside the number |
|---|---|---|
| Standard tub-to-shower conversion | $3,100 - $5,600 | Tub out, low curb pan, wall panels, new valve, glass panel. |
| Curbless conversion | $4,900 - $8,800 | The floor is rebuilt flush and sloped to a linear drain. |
| Glass: fixed panel or hinged door | $450 - $1,400 | A single panel sits at the low end, a framed door at the top. |
| Walls: PVC panels or tile | $1,100 - $3,900 | Panels finish in a day; tile adds days and takes any look you want. |
| Tear-out only | $450 - $950 | The tub gone and the alcove left clean for another trade. |
| Small job minimum | around $2,400 | Even the simplest swap books a licensed plumber and a full crew. |
Wall condition, drain position and the glass you choose move every line. The visit pins the figure down, and the figure then holds.
A bathtub drains at one end through its own trap; most showers want the drain nearer the middle, or along one edge when the plan is curbless. Sometimes the existing trap is close enough to reuse and sometimes it has to travel a foot or two, which means opening a strip of floor. We can usually tell which from the basement or the crawl space during the visit, and the paperwork you sign already names which one you are getting.
Houses older than the seventies like to add a surprise: galvanized supply lines rusted nearly shut, a cast iron trap that crumbles at a touch, or framing that got damp decades ago and kept it quiet. None of it is rare and none of it is ruinous, but it is your call, not ours. When something like that turns up, work pauses, you get photographs and a price for the fix, and nothing is billed until you have said yes to it. A conversion should never be the job where the invoice writes itself.
QIs losing the only bathtub a resale mistake?
AAgents around Leisureville repeat one rule: a family house shows better with a tub somewhere in it. If this is your only tub and small children are in your plans, we put that on the table during the visit and you decide with open eyes. If another bathroom keeps its tub, or the buyers you expect are shower people, the argument evaporates.
QHow long do we go without washing?
AThe toilet and sink stay usable every evening, and the water is only off for stretches on day one. The shower itself is ready once the silicone cures, so figure on missing roughly three days of showers at home. Plenty of clients time the job before a weekend away.
QDoes all the old tile come off the walls?
AOn the alcove walls, yes, because the new waterproofing needs to start from the studs, not from forty-year-old grout. Tile outside the alcove stays put, and we cut a clean line where the two meet.
QCan the new shower use the tub drain?
AThe pipe itself is nearly always reusable; the position is the question. A low curb pan can often sit its drain within reach of the old trap. Curbless floors want a relocated or linear drain, and that difference is priced before demo, never discovered after.
QDo we need a permit for the swap?
AA like-for-like fixture swap usually rides on a simple plumbing permit, and moving the drain can add an inspection. We file whatever your jurisdiction wants and fold the cost into the written price.
QWhat if there is rot behind the tub?
AIt happens, mostly around the old tile flange. You get photographs the hour we find it, a firm price for the repair, and the choice to proceed or pause. The framing fix is usually a morning, not a remodel.
